germany became the again and use to worry about it. and hopefully could control austria and hungary but in the present age great powers can't always control their smaller allies. the united states and israel, there are times when the united states and pakistan, china and north korea, because the prestige is tied up with protection the lesser power, give a lesser power a free hand to behave as it wishes. >> a very good segue into our next segment. i would like to invite members to enjoy living with our questions, a reminder this meeting is on the record. wait for the microphone, speak directly into it, stand, name and affiliation, one question, keep it concise, to speak. we will look back. >> new york university, professor macmillan. some years ago, david wrote a book on the same subject, iraq last summer. the focus of the book was to save vienna was -- and there would not have been a war and keyser was less bellicose in the end. >> your book is sitting right there. >> which we thoroughly enjoyed. tried to sort it out because in the end, the chief of the german general staff would have done what kaiser told him, kaiser had constitutional authority to make war or not to make war. and both o

germany. dist late fuel to france, chile and argentina. petroleum, to turkey and china. gasoline to colombia, brazil and panama. jet fuel to britain, israel and nigeria. natural gas to canada and mexico. and natural gas liquids to switzerland, honduras and aruba. and i could go on. i know that you probably know these facts well. i didn't come here today to simply recite facts. i'm here because as good as this story is, these developments have transpired in spite of the federal government, not because of it, as the president frequently seems to imply. the rules of engagement on energy trade, quite honestly, were written long ago for a now bygone world in which scarcity, not abundance, were the prevailing mindset. a hodgepodge of regulations has accumulated over the better part of a century. kind of like a barncals on the hull of a ship. so let me briefly sketch out the maze that we're dealing with here. the state department reviews cross-border oil pipelines such askeystone x.l. but petroleum products, crude oil and condensate, fall under the commerce department. the energy department grants export licenses for natural gas, but then the co

israel? i wonder. i wonder if there would be a reaction like there has been in history, like there was in germany when jews were being killed. well, they deserve it, they were the problem in this country. rationalization is a great thing and it's a dangerous thing. people who were in germany, who lived through the holocaust don't want to talk about if -- it because they cannot believe that they got sucked in to that group dynamic that allowed them to be so inhuman and so calloused that they didn't care about the extinction of jews in germany. and i really don't know the nswer, if these anti-israeli groups in universities that like to think they're diverse, nd yet they come after and destroy anybody that attempts to debate them, would they cheer if jews and israelis were killed? by iran? i hope they'll wake up to what's happening at these universities. but here again, love of money can be the root of all evil and we see universities across this country getting more and more money from middle eastern countries that say, hey, and by the way, you need to teach a course on islamaphobia or at least have a s

israel, japan and britain don't have strategic choices and canada and mexico don't have any economic choices but everyone else does. these are important countries. germanyea, indonesia. if you think about what drove a lot of american corporate growth over the last decades, it's been the ability to expand around the world in countries that are actually quite interested in aligning the standards with the united states. that's becoming more problematic. >> who's at fault? is this washington at large? is this the president? is this the function of edward snowden? what do you account for this? >> no question, snowden is a part of it. if you think about any companies dealing with big data trying to invest around the world, they're taking a hit because of that. syria's a problem. iran is a problem. if you're lockheed martin or raytheon and you want to sell arms, you know the sequester will hit you on the u.s. side. you want to sell to the turks, saudis, emirates? those guys will be buying less from the united states. they're concerned about foreign policy in the region. >> is this fixable? >> it's only a little fixable. >> or is this the long march? >> some of

federation, the foreign minister of australia, the foreign minister of germany -- [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: our guests from israel and overseas, a friend, a leader, we are thankful to you today, you will -- you with a shoulder on which we relied on, the security of our nation. your history is enter winding the history of our country and you devoted your life to the country. the imprint of your footsteps is throughout the country. you protected the land. your prince is in every military operation. you decided and made important historic decisions. i remember in the early '50s i was asked to present to prime minister, a young officer who was then a student of history at the hebrew university and who had original ideas how to help the sit ins. the description i received about you sounded to me more like a poem. it was said to me that you're wise and courageous, nonconformist with courage and leadership, leadership ability, a soldier was not afraid of the enemy and who is not afraid of divisions, a youngster, a youngster, arik, who was born for greatness. i met him and formed a friendship. i said that there is a youn
